SOUTHERN NATIONAL BANCORP OF VIRGINIA, INC.
March 31, 2012
 
1.   ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Southern National Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. (“Southern National”) is a corporation formed on July 28, 2004 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and is the holding company for Sonabank (“Sonabank”) a Virginia state chartered bank which commenced operations on April 14, 2005.  The principal activities of Sonabank are to attract deposits and originate loans as permitted under applicable banking regulations.  Sonabank operates 14 branches in Virginia located in Fairfax County (Reston, McLean and Fairfax), in Charlottesville, Warrenton (2), Loudoun County (Middleburg, Leesburg (2), and South Riding), Front Royal, New Market, Richmond and Clifton Forge, and we also have a branch in Rockville, Maryland.
 
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Southern National Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. and its subsidiary.  Significant inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
The unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U. S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and instructions for Form 10-Q and follow general practice within the banking industry.  Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U. S. GAAP for complete financial statements.  However, in the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented have been made. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in Southern National’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
 
As disclosed in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 16, 2012, Southern National restated its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, the interim quarterly periods and year ended December 31, 2010 and the interim quarterly periods through September 30, 2011.  In December 2009, we acquired Greater Atlantic Bank from the FDIC.  We identified errors in the purchase accounting related to that acquisition.  All amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2011set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as applicable, reflect the restatement of previously issued financial statements.  See Note 8 for further details.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U. S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates.  Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change in the near term relate to the determination of the allowance for loan losses, the carrying value of investment securities, other than temporary impairment of investment securities, the valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, the FDIC indemnification asset,  mortgage servicing rights, other real estate owned and deferred tax assets.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In May 2011, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2011-04, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820), Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS. The guidance clarifies and expands the disclosures pertaining to unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements, including the disclosure of quantitative information related to (1) the valuation processes used, (2) the sensitivity of the fair value measurement to changes in unobservable inputs and the interrelationships between those unobservable inputs, and (3) use of a nonfinancial asset in a way that differs from the asset’s highest and best use. The guidance also requires disclosure of the level within the fair value hierarchy for assets and liabilities not measured at fair value in the statement of financial position but for which the fair value is disclosed. The amendments in this Update are to be applied prospectively, effective during interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011. This ASU was adopted in the first quarter of 2012 and its requirements are reflected in our disclosures.
 
In June 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-05, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220), Presentation of Comprehensive Income. This ASU amends the disclosure requirements for the presentation of comprehensive income. The amended guidance eliminates the option to present components of other comprehensive income (OCI) as part of the statement of changes in stockholder’s equity. Under the amended guidance, all changes in OCI are to be presented either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The changes are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2011.  In December 2011, the FASB issued ASU 2011-12 to defer changes that relate to the presentation of reclassification adjustments but the other requirements of ASU 2011-05 remain in effect. We present OCI in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income.

 STOCK- BASED COMPENSATION
 
In 2004, the Board of Directors adopted a stock option plan that authorized the reservation of up to 302,500 shares of common stock and provided for the granting of stock options to certain directors, officers and employees.  As of March 31, 2012, options to purchase an aggregate of 302,500 shares of common stock were outstanding and no shares remained available for issuance. The 2010 Stock Awards and Incentive Plan was approved by the Board of Directors in January 2010 and approved by the stockholders at the Annual Meeting in April 2010. The 2010 plan authorized the reservation of 700,000 shares of common stock for the granting of stock awards. The options granted to officers and employees are incentive stock options and the options granted to non-employee directors are non-qualified stock options.  The purpose of the plan is to afford key employees an incentive to remain in the employ of Southern National and to assist in the attracting and retaining of non-employee directors by affording them an opportunity to share in Southern National’s future success.  Under the plan, the option’s price cannot be less than the fair market value of the stock on the grant date.  The maximum term of the options is ten years and options granted may be subject to a graded vesting schedule.

SNBV granted 12,000 options during the first three months of 2012. The fair value of each option granted is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model.  The following weighted-average assumptions were used to value options granted in the three months ended March 31, 2012:
 
   
2012
 
Dividend yield
    0.00 %
Expected life
 
10 years
Expected volatility
    35.64 %
Risk-free interest rate
    2.04 %
Weighted average fair value per option granted
  $ 3.03  
 
The risk-free interest rate was developed using the U. S. Treasury yield curve for periods equal to the expected life of the options on the grant date.  An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase stock compensation expense on future option grants.
 
For the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, stock-based compensation expense was $50 thousand and $26 thousand, respectively.  As of March 31, 2012, unrecognized compensation expense associated with the stock options was $594 thousand, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 3.6 years.

Securities with a carrying amount of approximately $37.9 million and $36.0 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, were pledged to secure public deposits, repurchase agreements and a line of credit for advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta (“FHLB”).
 
SNBV monitors the portfolio for indicators of other than temporary impairment.  At March 31, 2012, certain securities’ fair values were below cost. As outlined in the table below, there were securities with fair values totaling approximately $5.5 million in the portfolio that are considered temporarily impaired at March 31, 2012.  Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and market illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because we do not have the intent to sell these securities and it is likely that we will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, management does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired as of March 31, 2012.  The following tables present information regarding securities in a continuous unrealized loss position as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 (in thousands) by duration of time in a loss position:

Each of these securities has been evaluated for other than temporary impairment.  In performing a detailed cash flow analysis of each security, Sonabank works with independent third parties to estimate expected cash flows and assist with the evaluation of other than temporary impairment. The cash flow analyses performed included the following assumptions:
 
  
.5% of the remaining performing collateral will default or defer per annum.
●  
Recoveries ranging from 25% to 47% with a two year lag on all defaults and deferrals.
●  
No prepayments for 10 years and then 1% per annum for the remaining life of the security.
●  
Additionally banks with assets over $15 billion will no longer be allowed to count down streamed trust preferred proceeds as Tier 1 capital (although it will still be counted as Tier 2 capital). That will incent the large banks to prepay their trust preferred securities if they can or if it is economically desirable. As a consequence, we have projected in all of our pools that 25% of the collateral issued by banks with assets over $15 billion will prepay in 2013.
●  
Our securities have been modeled using the above assumptions by independent third parties using the forward LIBOR curve to discount projected cash flows to present values.
 
Because the decline in fair value is attributable to changes in interest rates and illiquidity, and not credit quality, and because we do not have the intent to sell these securities and it is more likely than not that we will not be required to sell the securities before their anticipated recovery, management does not consider these securities to be other-than-temporarily impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2012, except for the MMC Funding XVIII security.
 
Our analyses resulted in OTTI charges related to credit on MMC Funding XVIII in the amount of $2 thousand during the three months ended March 31, 2012, compared to OTTI charges related to credit on TPREF Funding II totaling $32 thousand during the first quarter of 2011.

We also own $939 thousand of SARM 2005-22 1A2. This residential collateralized mortgage obligation was originally rated AAA by Standard and Poors. After a series of downgrades, this security has been other than temporarily impaired in past reporting periods. For the first quarter of 2012 and based on our review of the trustee report, shock analysis and current information regarding delinquencies, nonperforming loans and credit support it has been determined that no OTTI charge for credit was required for the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  The assumptions used in the analysis included a 3.4% prepayment speed, 10% default rate, a 50% loss severity and an accounting yield of 2.48%. We recorded no OTTI charges for credit on this security during  the first quarter of 2011.

As part of the Greater Atlantic acquisition, the Bank and the FDIC entered into a loss sharing agreement on approximately $143.4 million (contractual basis) of Greater Atlantic Bank’s assets.  The Bank will share in the losses on the loans and foreclosed loan collateral with the FDIC as specified in the loss sharing agreement; we refer to these assets collectively as “covered assets.”  Loans that are not covered in the loss sharing agreement are referred to as “non-covered loans.”
 
 
11

 
 
The covered loans acquired in the Greater Atlantic transaction are and will continue to be subject to our internal and external credit review. As a result, if and when credit deterioration is noted subsequent to the acquisition date, such deterioration will be measured through our allowance for loan loss calculation methodology and a provision for credit losses will be charged to earnings with a partially offsetting noninterest expense item reflecting the change to the FDIC indemnification asset.
 
Credit-impaired covered loans are those loans showing evidence of credit deterioration since origination and it is probable, at the date of acquisition, that Southern National will not collect all contractually required principal and interest payments. Generally, acquired loans that meet Southern National’s definition for nonaccrual status fall within the definition of credit-impaired covered loans.

(1) Includes loans secured by farmland and multi-family residential loans.
 
Troubled Debt Restructurings
 
A modification is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if both of the following exist: (1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and (2) the Bank has granted a concession to the borrower.  The Bank determines that a borrower may be experiencing financial difficulty if the borrower is currently in default on any of its debt, or if the Bank is concerned that the borrower may not be able to perform in accordance with the current terms of the loan agreement in the foreseeable future.  Many aspects of the borrower’s financial situation are assessed when determining whether they are experiencing financial difficulty, particularly as it relates to commercial borrowers due to the complex nature of the loan structure, business/industry risk and borrower/guarantor structures.  Concessions may include the reduction of an interest rate at a rate lower than current market rate for a new loan with similar risk, extension of the maturity date, reduction of accrued interest, or principal forgiveness.  When evaluating whether a concession has been granted, the Bank also considers whether the borrower has provided additional collateral or guarantors and whether such additions adequately compensate the Bank for the restructured terms, or if the revised terms are consistent with those currently being offered to new loan customers.  The assessments of whether a borrower is experiencing (or is likely to experience) financial difficulty and whether a concession has been granted is subjective in nature and management’s judgment is required when determining whether a modification is a TDR.
 
 
16

 
 
Although each occurrence is unique to the borrower and is evaluated separately, for all portfolio segments, TDRs are typically modified through reduction in interest rates, reductions in payments, changing the payment terms from principal and interest to interest only, and/or extensions in term maturity.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we modified  two loans in troubled debt restructurings totaling $755 thousand.  Loan impairment in the amount of $555 thousand was previously recognized on these loans, and no incremental impairment was recognized during the first quarter of 2012 in connection with the modifications. The loans are paying in accordance with the modified terms and there is no additional commitment to lend.
 
Credit Quality Indicators
 
Through its system of internal controls SNBV evaluates and segments loan portfolio credit quality on a quarterly basis using regulatory definitions for Special Mention, Substandard and Doubtful.  Special Mention loans are considered to be criticized.  Substandard and Doubtful loans are considered to be classified.  SNBV has no loans classified Doubtful.
 
Special Mention loans are loans that have a potential weakness that deserves management’s close attention.  If left uncorrected, these potential weaknesses may result in deterioration of the repayment prospects for the loan or of the institution’s credit position.
 
Substandard loans may be inadequately protected by the current net worth and paying capacity of the obligor or of the collateral pledged if any.  Loans so classified have a well-defined weakness or weaknesses that jeopardize the liquidation of the debt.  They are characterized by the distinct possibility that the institution will sustain some loss if the deficiencies are not corrected.
 
Doubtful loans have all the weaknesses inherent in those classified as substandard, with the added characteristic that the weaknesses make collection or liquidation in full, on the basis of currently existing facts, conditions, and values, highly questionable and improbable.
 
As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and based on the most recent analysis performed, the risk category of loans by class of loans is as follows (in thousands):

5.    FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS WITH OFF-BALANCE SHEET RISK
 
SNBV is a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financing needs of its customers.  These financial instruments include commitments to extend credit and standby letters of credit.  These instruments involve elements of credit and funding risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.  Letters of credit are written conditional commitments issued by SNBV to guarantee the performance of a customer to a third party.  The credit risk involved in issuing letters of credit is essentially the same as that involved in extending loans to customers.  We had letters of credit outstanding totaling $9.4 million and $6.5 million as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
 
Our exposure to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the other party to the financial instruments for commitments to extend credit and letters of credit is based on the contractual amount of these instruments.  We use the same credit policies in making commitments and conditional obligations as we do for on-balance sheet instruments.
 
Commitments to extend credit are agreements to lend to a customer as long as there is no violation of any condition established in the contract.  Commitments are made predominately for adjustable rate loans, and generally have fixed expiration dates of up to three months or other termination clauses and usually require payment of a fee.  Since many of the commitments may expire without being completely drawn upon, the total commitment amounts do not necessarily represent future cash requirements.  We evaluate each customer’s creditworthiness on a case-by-case basis.
 
At March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, we had unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds totaling $103.2 million and $106.6 million, respectively.  Our approved loan commitments were $1.0 million and $690 thousand at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.

7.    FAIR VALUE
 
ASC 820-10 establishes a fair value hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. The standard describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets that the entity has the ability to access as of the measurement date
 
Level 2: Significant other observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data
 
Level 3: Significant unobservable inputs that reflect a reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability
 
The following is a description of the valuation methodologies used for instruments measured at fair value, as well as the general classification of such instruments pursuant to the valuation hierarchy:
 
Securities Available for Sale
 
Where quoted prices are available in an active market, securities are classified within Level 1 of the valuation hierarchy.  Level 1 securities would include highly liquid government bonds, mortgage products and exchange traded equities.  If quoted market prices are not available, then fair values are estimated by using pricing models, quoted prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flow.  Level 2 securities would include U. S. agency securities, mortgage-backed securities, obligations of states and political subdivisions and certain corporate, asset-backed and other securities.  In certain cases where there is limited activity or less transparency around inputs to the valuation, securities are classified within Level 3 of the valuation hierarchy.  Currently, all of Southern National’s available-for-sale debt securities are considered to be Level 2 securities.

Assets and Liabilities Measured on a Non-recurring Basis:
 
Trust Preferred Securities Classified as Held-to-Maturity
 
The base input in calculating fair value is a Bloomberg Fair Value Index yield curve for single issuer trust preferred securities which correspond to the ratings of the securities we own.  We also use composite rating indices to fill in the gaps where the bank rating indices did not correspond to the ratings in our portfolio.  When a bank index that matches the rating of our security is not available, we used the bank index that most closely matches the rating, adjusted by the spread between the composite index that most closely matches the security’s rating and the composite index with a rating that matches the bank index used.  Then, we use the adjusted index yield, which is further adjusted by a liquidity premium, as the discount rate to be used in the calculation of the present value of the same cash flows used to evaluate the securities for OTTI.  The liquidity premiums were derived in consultation with a securities advisor. The liquidity premiums we used ranged from 2% to 5%, and the adjusted discount rates ranged from 9.55% to 16.55%.   Due to current market conditions as well as the limited trading activity of these securities, the market value of the securities is highly sensitive to assumption changes and market volatility.  We have determined that our trust preferred securities are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
 
Other Residential Collateralized Mortgage Obligation Classified as Held-to Maturity
 
The fair value was estimated within Level 2 fair value hierarchy, as the fair value is based on either pricing models, quoted market prices of securities with similar characteristics, or discounted cash flows.  We have evaluated this security for potential impairment and, based on our review of the trustee report, shock analysis and current information regarding delinquencies, nonperforming loans and credit support, it has been determined that no OTTI charge for credit exists for the three months ended March 31, 2012.  The assumptions used in the analysis included a 3.4% prepayment speed, 10% default rate, a 50% loss severity and an accounting yield of 2.48%.
 
 
20

 
 
Impaired Loans
 
Generally, we measure the impairment for impaired loans considering the fair value of the loan’s collateral (if the loan is collateral dependent).  Fair value of the loan’s collateral is determined by appraisals or other valuation which is then adjusted for the cost related to liquidation of the collateral.  Fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Non-covered loans identified as impaired totaled $15.9 million (including SBA guarantees of $2.4 million) as of March 31, 2012 with an allocated allowance for loan losses totaling $689 thousand compared to a carrying amount of $26.2 million (including SBA guarantees of $2.5 million) with an allocated allowance for loan losses totaling $1.0 million at December 31, 2011.  Charge offs related to the impaired loans at March 31, 2012 totaled $250 thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2012 compared to $1.1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.
 
Other Real Estate Owned (OREO)
 
OREO is evaluated at the time of acquisition and recorded at fair value as determined by independent appraisal or internal market evaluation less cost to sell.  OREO is further evaluated quarterly for any additional impairment.  Fair value is classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  At March 31, 2012, the total amount of OREO was $12.9 million, of which $12.3 million was non-covered and $636 thousand was covered.
 
At December 31, 2011, the total amount of OREO was $14.3 million, of which $13.6 million was non-covered and $636 thousand was covered.

Carrying amount is the estimated fair value for cash and cash equivalents, accrued interest receivable and payable, demand deposits, savings accounts, money market accounts, short-term debt, and variable rate loans that reprice frequently and fully.  For fixed rate loans or deposits and for variable rate loans with infrequent repricing or repricing limits, fair value is based on discounted cash flows using current market rates applied to the estimated life. It was not practicable to determine the fair value of Federal Reserve Bank and Federal Home Loan Bank stock due to restrictions placed on its transferability.  Fair value of long-term debt is based on current rates for similar financing.  The fair value of the FDIC indemnification asset was determined by discounting estimated future cash flows using the long-term risk free rate plus a premium and represents the present value of our current expectation for recoveries from the FDIC on covered loans.  The fair value of off-balance-sheet items is not considered material.  The fair value of loans is not presented on an exit price basis.
 
8.     CORRECTION OF ERRORS RELATED TO PURCHASE ACCOUNTING
 
In December 2009, we acquired Greater Atlantic Bank from the FDIC.  We have identified errors in the purchase accounting related to that acquisition.  We had utilized the services of a valuation consultant to assist with the identification and estimation of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.   As disclosed in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we have restated our financial statements for year ended December 31, 2009, the interim quarterly periods and year ended December 31, 2010 and the interim quarterly periods through September 30, 2011.
 
The most significant error was that a redundant credit loss assumption was applied to the acquired residential and home equity loan portfolios for purposes of calculating the expected credit losses for these portfolios recoverable from the FDIC.  This error resulted in an overstatement of the FDIC indemnification asset.   The correction of the error resulted in the removal of the gain of $11.2 million reported in our 2009 consolidated statement of operations, as well as adjustments to other amounts originally reported in 2009.  We engaged an advisor to assist with calculating the correct initial fair value of the indemnification asset; accretion of the acquired loan discount; calculation of estimated amounts due back to the FDIC in the event that losses do not achieve a specified level (the clawback liability); and other purchase accounting adjustments. Correcting the 2009 purchase accounting entries required adjustments to certain as reported amounts as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2011.
 
Notes (a) through (f) below describe the restatement adjustments to the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2011, and the consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income (loss), changes in stockholders’ equity, and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2011  presented in the following tables.
 
(a)  
Correct the carrying value of the FDIC indemnification asset as of March 31, 2011.
 
(b)  
Correct the accretion amounts for the accretable discount on the acquired loans. On the statement of cash flows as reported, the accretion of the loan discount was previously presented as loan originations and payments, net within investing activities. Reclassifications between covered loans, other assets and goodwill of approximately $500 thousand are reflected as adjustments to the balance sheet presentation in this footnote as of March 31, 2011 as compared to the summarized presentation included in the unaudited quarterly financial information footnote in our 2011 Form 10-K.
 
(c)  
Record a liability for amounts expected to be paid to the FDIC at the maturity of the indemnification agreement as credit losses are not expected to reach levels established in the Purchase and Assumption Agreement for the acquisition of Greater Atlantic Bank.  The initial fair value of this liability was reflected at the net present value of expected cash outflows of $586 thousand, and is accreted through other operating expenses to the expected cash disbursement.
 
(d)  
Record the tax effects for the impact of the adjustments.
 
(e)  
Corrections to the statement of cash flows to reflect the impact of the aforementioned adjustments as well as to present the accretion of the loan discount in operating activities.
 
(f)  
Recognize goodwill of $10 thousand.

9.           SUBSEQUENT EVENT
 
On April 27, 2012, Sonabank entered into an agreement with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to assume all of the deposits and certain assets of HarVest Bank of Maryland (“HarVest”) a state chartered non-Federal Reserve member commercial bank. HarVest operates four branches – North Rockville, Frederick, Germantown and Bethesda. With this acquisition Sonabank will now operate 19 retail banking offices, with 14 in Virginia and five in Maryland.
 
Sonabank will initially be acquiring the assets and liabilities of HarVest at a $27.3 million discount and no premium on deposits. In this transaction, Sonabank will be receiving $145 million in deposits, $95 million in loans and $6.2 million in other real estate owned (OREO) from HarVest. There will be no loss share agreement between the FDIC and Sonabank. In addition, Sonabank will be purchasing cash and marketable securities of HarVest.

OVERVIEW
 
Southern National Bancorp of Virginia, Inc. (“Southern National”) is a corporation formed on July 28, 2004 under the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia and is the holding company for Sonabank (“Sonabank”) a Virginia state chartered bank which commenced operations on April 14, 2005.  The principal activities of Sonabank are to attract deposits and originate loans as permitted under applicable banking regulations.  Prior to the acquisition of HarVest Bank of Maryland on April 27, 2012, Sonabank operated 14 branches in Virginia located in Fairfax County (Reston, McLean and Fairfax), in Charlottesville, Warrenton (2), Loudoun County (Middleburg, Leesburg (2), and South Riding), Front Royal, New Market, Richmond and Clifton Forge, and one branch in Rockville, Maryland.  We have administrative offices in Warrenton and an executive office in Georgetown, Washington, D.C where senior management is located.
 
As disclosed in our 2011 Annual Report on Form 10-K, Southern National restated its financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2009, the interim quarterly periods and year ended December 31, 2010 and the interim quarterly periods through September 30, 2011.  In December 2009, we acquired Greater Atlantic Bank from the FDIC.  We identified errors in the purchase accounting related to that acquisition.  All amounts for the three months ended March 31, 2011set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as applicable, reflect the restatement of previously issued financial statements.
 
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
Net Income
 
Net income for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was $1.8 million compared to $1.3 million during the first quarter of 2011.
 
Net Interest Income
 
Our operating results depend primarily on our net interest income, which is the difference between interest and dividend income on interest-earning assets such as loans and investments, and interest expense on interest-bearing liabilities such as deposits and borrowings.
 
Net interest income was $7.6 million for the first quarter of 2012, compared to $6.5 million for the first quarter of 2011. Approximately $805 thousand of the increase resulted from the recovery of the non-accretable credit-related discount recognized in purchase accounting for two impaired loans acquired in the Greater Atlantic Bank acquisition following the receipt of principal paydown from the borrowers. The total accretion of the discount on the Greater Atlantic Bank loan portfolio, including the aforementioned $805 thousand, amounted to $1.5 million in the first quarter of 2012, compared to $985 thousand in the first quarter of 2011. The net interest margin was 5.59% in the quarter ended March 31, 2012, up from 5.05% in the first quarter of 2011.  This was the result of an increase in average loan balances of $29.5 million over the first quarter of 2011, as well as the additional discount accretion.  The yield on earning assets increased to 6.64% during the first quarter of 2012 from 6.29% for the same period in 2011, while the cost of funds decreased from 1.44% during the quarter ended March 31, 2011 to 1.22% during the first quarter of 2012.  The decrease in the cost of funds was primarily related to time deposits and borrowings.

Provision for Loan Losses
 
The provision for loan losses is a current charge to earnings made in order to increase the allowance for loan losses to a level deemed appropriate by management based on an evaluation of the loan portfolio, current economic conditions, changes in the nature and volume of lending, historical loan experience and other known internal and external factors affecting loan collectability.  Our loan loss allowance is calculated by segmenting the loan portfolio by loan type and applying historical loss factors to each segment.  The historical loss factors may be qualitatively adjusted by considering regulatory and peer data, and the application of management’s judgment.

The provision for loan losses in the first quarter of 2012 was $1.5 million, compared to $1.3 million in the first quarter of 2011. Net charge offs during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 were $843 thousand compared to $1.2 million during the first quarter of 2011.  The 2012 charge-offs were primarily related to various commercial and industrial loans.

Noninterest income was $872 thousand during the first quarter of 2012, compared to $308 thousand during the same quarter of 2011.  The increase was attributable to a gain on sale of the guaranteed portion of SBA loans which was partially offset by small losses on the sale of other real estate owned (“OREO”) properties. Additionally, we recognized impairment charges on two OREO properties after updating our assessment of current market values and reduced our list prices. Income from bank-owned life insurance (“BOLI”) also improved slightly as we purchased additional insurance during the fourth quarter of 2011.

Noninterest expense was $4.3 million for the first quarter of 2012 compared to $3.6 million for the first quarter of 2011. The increase in noninterest expenses was primarily because other professional services expense, relating mostly to the restatement of 2010 and 2009 financial statements, increased from $391 thousand in the first quarter of 2011 to $804 thousand in the first quarter of 2012.
 
The efficiency ratio was 53.62% during the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to 52.06% during the first quarter of 2011.
 
FINANCIAL CONDITION
 
Balance Sheet Overview
 
Total assets were $610.8 million as of March 31, 2012 compared to $611.4 million as of December 31, 2011.  Net loans receivable decreased from $491.8 million at the end of 2011 to $491.2 million at March 31, 2012. Within that total, covered loans declined by $1.6 million while the non-covered loan portfolio increased by $1.0 million. We sold $5.7 million of SBA loans during the first quarter of 2012.
 
Total deposits were $452.7 million at March 31, 2012 compared to $461.1 million at December 31, 2011. Certificates of deposit decreased $11.9 million during the quarter.  This was partially offset by an increase in money market accounts of $2.0 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  Noninterest-bearing deposits were $33.7 million at March 31, 2012 and $32.6 million at December 31, 2011.
 
Loan Portfolio
 
As part of the Greater Atlantic acquisition, the Bank and the FDIC entered into a loss sharing agreement on approximately $143.4 million (contractual basis) of Greater Atlantic Bank’s assets.  The Bank will share in the losses on the loans and foreclosed loan collateral with the FDIC as specified in the loss sharing agreement; we refer to these assets collectively as “covered assets.”  Loans that are not covered in the loss sharing agreement are referred to as “non-covered loans.”

As of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, substantially all of our loans were to customers located in Virginia and Maryland. We are not dependent on any single customer or group of customers whose insolvency would have a material adverse effect on operations.
 
Asset Quality
 
We will generally place a loan on nonaccrual status when it becomes 90 days past due. Loans will also be placed on nonaccrual status in cases where we are uncertain whether the borrower can satisfy the contractual terms of the loan agreement. Cash payments received while a loan is categorized as nonaccrual will be recorded as a reduction of principal as long as doubt exists as to future collections.
 
We maintain appraisals on loans secured by real estate, particularly those categorized as nonperforming loans and potential problem loans. In instances where appraisals reflect reduced collateral values, we make an evaluation of the borrower’s overall financial condition to determine the need, if any, for impairment or write-down to their fair values. If foreclosure occurs, we record other real estate owned at the lower of our recorded investment in the loan or fair value less our estimated costs to sell.
 
Our loss and delinquency experience on our loan portfolio has been limited by a number of factors, including our underwriting standards and the relatively short period of time since the loans were originated. Whether our loss and delinquency experience in the area of our portfolio will increase significantly depends upon the value of the real estate securing loans and economic factors such as the overall economy of the region.
 
Non-covered Loans and Assets
 
Non-covered loans evaluated for impairment totaled $15.9 million with allocated allowance for loan losses in the amount of $689 thousand as of March 31, 2012, including $4.8 million of nonaccrual loans and $755 thousand of restructured loans. This compares to $26.2 million of impaired loans with allocated allowance for loan losses in the amount of $1.0 million at December 31, 2011, including $4.5 million of nonaccrual loans and $1.1 million of restructured loans. The nonaccrual loans included SBA guaranteed amounts of $2.4 million and $2.5 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. At March 31, 2012 there were no loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest, compared to $32 thousand as of December 31, 2011.

Non-covered nonperforming assets decreased from $18.2 million at December 31, 2011 to $17.1 million at March 31, 2012.
 
Non-covered OREO as of March 31, 2012 was $12.3 million compared to $13.6 million as of the end of the previous year. During the first quarter of 2012 we had no foreclosures and OREO sales of $1.1 million. Non-covered OREO was comprised of the Culpeper lots, a horse facility, an estate in Charlottesville, a construction/land project, a commercial property in southwest Virginia and three residential properties.
 
Sonabank has an internal loan review and a loan committee, both of which provide on-going monitoring to identify and address issues with problem loans. The loan loss provision is determined after consideration of all known relevant internal and external factors affecting loan collectability to maintain the allowance for loan and lease losses at a level necessary to absorb estimated credit losses. We believe the allowance for loan losses is sufficient to cover probable incurred credit losses at March 31, 2012.

A modification is classified as a troubled debt restructuring (“TDR”) if both of the following exist: (1) the borrower is experiencing financial difficulty and (2) the Bank has granted a concession to the borrower. The Bank determines that a borrower may be experiencing financial difficulty if the borrower is currently in default on any of its debt, or if the Bank is concerned that the borrower may not be able to perform in accordance with the current terms of the loan agreement in the foreseeable future. Many aspects of the borrower’s financial situation are assessed when determining whether they are experiencing financial difficulty, particularly as it relates to commercial borrowers due to the complex nature of the loan structure, business/industry risk and borrower/guarantor structures. Concessions may include the reduction of an interest rate at a rate lower than current market rate for a new loan with similar risk, extension of the maturity date, reduction of accrued interest, or principal forgiveness. When evaluating whether a concession has been granted, the Bank also considers whether the borrower has provided additional collateral or guarantors and whether such additions adequately compensate the Bank for the restructured terms, or if the revised terms are consistent with those currently being offered to new loan customers. The assessments of whether a borrower is experiencing (or is likely to experience) financial difficulty and whether a concession has been granted is subjective in nature and management’s judgment is required when determining whether a modification is a TDR.

Although each occurrence is unique to the borrower and is evaluated separately, for all portfolio segments, TDRs are typically modified through reduction in interest rates, reductions in payments, changing the payment terms from principal and interest to interest only, and/or extensions in term maturity.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we modified two loans in troubled debt restructurings totaling $755 thousand. Loan impairment in the amount of $555 thousand was previously recognized on these loans, and no incremental impairment was recognized during the first quarter of 2012 in connection with the modifications. The loans are paying in accordance with the modified terms and there is no additional commitment to lend.
 
Covered Loans and Assets
 
Covered loans identified as impaired totaled $4.8 million as of March 31, 2012 and $4.7 million at December 31, 2011. Nonaccrual loans were $3.4 million and $3.3 million at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. At March 31, 2012, there were no loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest, and at December 31, 2011, there were loans past due 90 days or more and accruing interest in the amount of $136 thousand.
 
Securities
 
Investment securities, available for sale and held to maturity, were $46.8 million at March 31, 2012 and $45.0 million at December 31, 2011.

Each of these securities has been evaluated for potential impairment under ASC 325. In performing a detailed cash flow analysis of each security, Sonabank works with independent third parties to identify the most reflective estimate of the cash flow estimated to be collected. If this estimate results in a present value of expected cash flows that is less than the amortized cost basis of a security (that is, credit loss exists), an OTTI is considered to have occurred.
 
The analyses resulted in OTTI charges related to credit on the trust preferred securities in the amount of $2 thousand during the first quarter of 2012, compared to OTTI charges related to credit on the trust preferred securities totaling $32 thousand for three months ended March 31, 2011.
 
We also own a residential collateralized mortgage obligation which has been evaluated for potential impairment. We recorded no OTTI charges for credit on this security during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.
 
Liquidity and Funds Management
 
The objective of our liquidity management is to assure the ability to meet our financial obligations. These obligations include the payment of deposits on demand or at maturity, the repayment of borrowings at maturity and the ability to fund commitments and other new business opportunities. We obtain funding from a variety of sources, including customer deposit accounts, customer certificates of deposit and payments on our loans and investments. Historically, our level of core deposits has been insufficient to fully fund our lending activities. As a result, we have sought funding from additional sources, including institutional certificates of deposit and the sale of available-for-sale investment securities. In addition, we maintain lines of credit from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta and utilize securities sold under agreements to repurchase and reverse repurchase agreement borrowings from approved securities dealers.
 
We prepare a monthly cash flow report which forecasts weekly cash needs and availability for the coming three months, based on forecasts of loan closings from our pipeline report and other factors.
 
During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we funded our financial obligations with deposits, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and borrowings from the Federal Home Loan Bank of Atlanta. At March 31, 2012, we had $103.2 million of unfunded lines of credit and undisbursed construction loan funds. Our approved loan commitments were $1.0 million at March 31, 2012. Management anticipates that funding requirements for these commitments can be met from the normal sources of funds.

We are engaged primarily in the business of investing funds obtained from deposits and borrowings into interest-earning loans and investments.  Consequently, our earnings depend to a significant extent on our net interest income, which is the difference between the interest income on loans and other investments and the interest expense on deposits and borrowings.  To the extent that our interest-bearing liabilities do not reprice or mature at the same time as our interest-earning assets, we are subject to interest rate risk and corresponding fluctuations in net interest income.  We have employed asset/liability management policies that seek to manage our interest income, without having to incur unacceptable levels of credit or investment risk.

We use a duration gap of equity approach to manage our interest rate risk, and we review quarterly interest sensitivity reports prepared for us by FTN Financial using the Sendero ALM Analysis System.  This approach uses a model which generates estimates of the change in our market value of portfolio equity (MVPE) over a range of interest rate scenarios.  MVPE is the present value of expected cash flows from assets, liabilities and off-balance sheet contracts using standard industry assumptions about estimated loan prepayment rates, reinvestment rates and deposit decay rates.

The following tables are based on an analysis prepared by FTN Financial setting forth an analysis of our interest rate risk as measured by the estimated change in MVPE resulting from instantaneous and sustained parallel shifts in the yield curve (plus 400 basis points or minus 200 basis points, measured in 100 basis point increments) as of March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011, and all changes are within our ALM Policy guidelines:

Our interest rate sensitivity is also monitored by management through the use of a model run by FTN Financial that generates estimates of the change in the net interest income over a range of interest rate scenarios.  Net interest income depends upon the relative amounts of interest-earning assets and interest-bearing liabilities and the interest rates earned or paid on them.  In this regard, the model assumes that the composition of our interest sensitive assets and liabilities existing at March 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011 remains constant over the period being measured and also assumes that a particular change in interest rates is reflected uniformly across the yield curve regardless of the duration to maturity or repricing of specific assets and liabilities. All changes are within our ALM Policy guidelines.

Certain shortcomings are inherent in the methodology used in the above interest rate risk measurements.  Modeling changes in MVPE requires the making of certain assumptions that may or may not reflect the manner in which actual yields and costs respond to changes in market interest rates.  Accordingly, although the MVPE tables and Sensitivity of Net Interest Income (NII) tables provide an indication of our interest rate risk exposure at a particular point in time, such measurements are not intended to, and do not, provide a precise forecast of the effect of changes in market interest rates on our net worth and net interest income.  Sensitivity of MVPE and NII are modeled using different assumptions and approaches.  In the low interest rate environment that currently exists, limitations on downward adjustments for interest rates, particularly as they apply to deposits, can and do result in anomalies in scenarios that are unlikely to occur due to the current low interest rate environment.

(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures. As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, we have evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d -15(c) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934).  Based upon that evaluation, our chief executive officer and chief financial officer have concluded that these controls and procedures are effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
 
Disclosure controls and procedures are our controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
(b) Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. As was noted in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, management identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting relating to the design and operation of controls over the accounting for non-routine transactions. Management has begun the process of remediating this internal control weakness in two ways:
 
First, controls have been augmented or developed for the process that management uses to develop and document, review and approve the underlying assumptions that management provides to our valuation consultant for purposes of conducting the necessary periodic evaluations of the FDIC Indemnification asset. Specifically, management has developed and documented a methodology to estimate future credit losses in the covered loan portfolio, consistent with the existing methodology applied for the non-covered loan portfolio, as well as a review of the loss experience on the covered portfolio.  Management will now document its review and approval of the calculations performed by the valuation consultant related to the valuation of the FDIC Indemnification asset, as well as management’s review and approval of the proper application of management’s assumptions used in the valuation calculations, including estimated credit losses, discount rates and prepayment assumptions used in the periodic updating of cash flows on acquired loans.  We are actively implementing these controls, and intend to test these controls during the quarter ending June 30, 2012, and report our findings to the Audit Committee.
 
Second, we are augmenting and strengthening the controls and procedures that we use for complex or unusual transactions, such as an acquisition, so as to provide greater assurances that material errors will be prevented and/or detected on a timely basis. Specifically, our remediation plans include developing and implementing a documented internal review process that includes formal management and audit committee oversight of the methods and assumptions used for the valuation of acquired assets and liabilities and the accounting calculations and conclusions reached.
 
Other than developing and enhancing the controls noted above, there have been no other changes in SNBV’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, SNBV’s internal control over financial reporting.

Southern National and Sonabank may, from time to time, be a party to various legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business.  There are no other proceedings pending, or to management’s knowledge, threatened, against Southern National or Sonabank as of March 31, 2012.
 
 
As of March 31, 2012 there were no material changes to the risk factors previously disclosed on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
